Real quotes from Reddit comments that inspired this opportunity
- “You’re not underqualified. You’re just 'unpackaged.' Most founders look weak on paper because they list roles instead of outcomes.”
- “I'm running into feeling like essentially I haven't been doing just one thing for all this time but a mix of a whole bunch of things”
- “Most companies see founder or business owner and skip. Hr sees it as a threat”

- “What roles do founders usually fit into?”
- “most of the aspects of running a business are strongly related to sales, and I just don't have the energy to get into a traditional sales role”
